Does anyone know if it's possible to connect to Oracle using the .NET drivers without having to have a tnsnames file ? Is there a way to bypass the need for it? I do this with JDBC so I'm sure that I can do it with .NET. :)
When I look at the docs for OracleConnection.ConnectionString it does not mention anything about ports or SIDs - or about TNS names for that matter. It just mentions the server. We're on 8i here and I'm trying to avoid the hassle of having to maintain a tnsnames file on each of my servers.
